Walnuts Recipes

This salad is full of distinct, strong flavors. It's a great way to get new greens onto your plate.

Onions are often part of the chorus in a dish, but this time we're bringing them to center stage. This is the perfect fall side dish to serve with pork tenderloin or roasted chicken.

Portobello, shiitake and white mushrooms blend together in a melange that almost melts in your mouth.

The greek yogurt gives this a somewhat more moist (and probably less bread like to most) texture. It also gives it a boost in protein. This is my first attempt at banana bread though, so I wanted to record the little changes that I made.

These muffins came out sooo good! They make a great breakfast, snack or after workout snack.
With 30 grams of Carbs, 4 grams of healthy fat and 5 grams of protein, I call them my "power muffins".
Enjoy!

A delicious almost desert side dish with maple syrup, walnuts, & raisins

Forget the corn syrup--you won't miss it! These are ridiculously easy to throw together and make a great snack or salad topper.

Creamy goat cheese and roasted beets make for a beautiful side salad.

This is a cold breakfast you make ahead and grab on the go! It's messy though, so don't try eating it on the way to work!

Brighten up those dreary winter days with this colorful salad that features flavorful persimmons and tangy blue cheese. Persimmons are a great source of vitamin A, and their red pigment, lycopene, is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease. Walnuts add a tasty crunch—not to mention heart-healthy omega-3s. Pomegranate seeds provide an antioxidant boost.

This salad is delicious, and provides generous amounts of protein, high-quality carbs, soluble fiber, and 80 percent of your daily requirement for folate.

Great lunch or snack and a great use for leftover chicken

Delicious in salads, over frozen desserts, or by the handful.

(skip the glaze - just add some whipped cream)

A quick and easy pasta dish.

Easy to stuff in two jars and take to work, this meal takes care of two lunches to make your work week easier.

A healthy snack with low glycemic carbohydrates and no added sugars except in the chocolate.

Great nutritional value

This is really good, and fills 20 tacos. I like to add some refried beans and salsa to the filling to make it hold together in the taco better.

We LOVE this oatmeal on cold mornings! It has a nom-nom yumminess, and feels very good on an early am tummy!
Yep, it has over 400 calories, (you can SAVE calories by using craisins INSTEAD of the raisins!) but also more than 10g protein, and while it does have 75g carbs, it has no trans fats and nearly 7g of fiber. This may be good for someone who doesn't use processed white or raw Sugar, but it Does! have lots of 'sugars', from the fruit and from the syrup. Try it without the syrup, or even more cinnamon & adding another fruit instead of the sugar, like mashed banana. Hope you like it!

Barley grains are high in potassium and a great source of fiber!

Taken from fANNEtasticfood.com : One bite into this bread and you will swoon. A crisp, slightly sweet crust, crunchy walnuts, and hot, fresh cranberries that explode in your mouth as you bite into them. Oh, and pumpkin. Yes please. Did I mention there’s no butter or oil and that this pumpkin bread is 100% whole wheat?

This citrus-based slaw is a perfect accompaniment with sandwiches or as a quick, light lunch.

Serve with a simply steamed vegetable

When chicken goes on sale I buy in bulk and batchcook it in the crockpot or oven, with rosemary & thyme; then debone and freeze the meat in recipe-sized portions. When grapes go on sale, I make this salad! The rosemary & thyme add a lovely flavor to future dishes such as this salad. This recipe is also a great way to use up some of that frozen turkey meat leftover from Thanksgiving and Christmas.

• Red & purple grapes instead of green for better nutrition, reservatrol.
• Walnuts instead of almonds for omega 3's, but either are good.
• Turmeric for it's anti-inflamation and anti-cancer properties.

My favorite way to serve it is chilled overnight, eaten on a bed of shredded Romaine the next day.
